And by the way, insurance execs, it is NOT a "fine", it is a TAX.
Anyway, the link gives you about seven different summaries of different news sources discussing this issue.
I hold my breath every weekday at 10 am...SCOTUS will supposedly issue its healthcare ruling at 10am on a workday in June.
Insurance companies have obviously been dictated to by the administration and are craven and depraved.
If SCOTUS strikes down the mandate, but leaves the rest of the crap sandwich intact, look for the REAL fun to begin!
These same insurance executives will do a 180 and begin lobbying for repeal with every breath left in their body.
It will be SuperPAC Armageddon for Obama this fall. They are not gonna be stuck with the pre-existing conditions, the 26 year old slackers, the millions of free screenings and all the rest if 30 million paying customers at gunpoint do not come along with it.
I work in IT for a Healthcare insurer and all this yo-yo-ing of the requirements will keep me employed for quite a while.
That’s a big ole duh!
That’s like McDonalds wanting a ‘mandate’ to buy three cheeseburgers a day.
Gah, let’s hope Republicans don’t stay slaves to the insurance companies and their desired mandate and screw us all in the process.
Insurers agree that people should be forced to buy their product. Yeah, there is a tought one.
I’m sure McDonalds would also agree to a mandate that all families must buy a daily hamburger.
Why would anybody listen to the group that is benefiting from a law? Of course they support the mandate requiring people to buy their product. Thank goodness it is unconstitutional.
We STILL need to get this entire 3000 page abomonition off the books as soon as we get the presidency and the Senate. that is, we will have to FORCE the GOP-e president and Senate leades to bend to our will and toss the entire abomination.
END IT don’t mend it!!!!!!!!!!!
If there is anything good in it, pass that separately after REAPEALING the entire 3000 page scourge.
Any idea when SCOTUS will render their decision?
